abstract: Quantifies ecological memory in long time-series using Random Forest models
  ('Benito', 'Gil-Romera', and 'Birks' 2019 <https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.04772>)
  fitted with 'ranger' (Wright and Ziegler 2017 <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v077.i01>).
  Ecological memory is assessed by modeling a response variable as a function of lagged
  predictors, distinguishing endogenous memory (lagged response) from exogenous memory
  (lagged environmental drivers). Designed for palaeoecological datasets and simulated
  pollen curves from 'virtualPollen', but applicable to any long time-series with
  environmental drivers and a biotic response.
